Walks in the Pitlochry & Blair Atholl area

This area offers fantastic countryside, with forests, lochs and rivers and a backdrop of hills and mountains. There are loads of walking opportunities in this area, with lots of scenic viewpoints and cultural history. Our full-day walking adventures are usually 15-20km in length, with 400-600m of ascent. Usual time, including stops along the way, would be 6-7 hours. Possible options include:

A walk through time - a full-day version of our popular half-day walk. This walk includes a spectacular waterfall, the ruins of Caisteal Dubh (the “Black Castle”), an old coaching inn, the scenic viewpoint of Craigower, Loch Faskally and a bouncy bridge! 

A Rob Roy Way taster - a lovely walk between Pitlochry and Aberfeldy along the Rob Roy Way. The walk takes in Clachan an Diridh (the “stones of the ascent”), the ruins of Tullypowrie Kirk and the lovely hamlets of Grandtully and Strathtay. This walk can be done in either direction. 

Above the Soldier's Leap - a fantastic, varied walk from Blair Atholl to Pitlochry, taking in lovely birch woods, a high moor, Craig Fonvuick (a super viewpoint), old homesteads, the Pass of Killiecrankie and a lovely path along the banks of Loch Faskally back into Pitlochry.

Blair Castle & Falls of Bruar - a super walk starting near Blair Castle, visiting “The Hangman’s Knoll”, a hidden folly with a great view down to Blair Castle, a remote glen and the spectacular Falls of Bruar.

Ben Vrackie - The "Ben" is Pitlochry's local hill - a super Corbett that reaches a height of 840m. On the way, we'll tell you about the history of Moulin and the old hut circles on Moulin Moor. Towards the finish, we might be able to call into the old Moulin Inn for some refreshments and then walk back along Loch Faskally into town.

The walk will be private and is available for a group of up to six people through our online booking system. If you have a larger group, please contact us to discuss. To see what dates are available, prices, our terms & conditions, what to bring with you, and to book on day walk in this area, please go to our website at: https://www.perthshiretreks.scot/Pitlochry-and-Blair-Atholl-walks
